New • Edit starred phrases: press and hold a starred phrase to edit its text. • Better phrase import and export: exported files now keep your folders and the order of your phrases. You can also import a plain text file, one phrase per line. Fixed • Stop, rewind, forward and tap-to-speak now behave reliably on iOS 27. • The first tap on Speak after opening the app or changing voice sometimes did nothing.

No AI, Great for Papers

I love that this app doesn't use AI to create the audio. It has saved me countless times on my essays for college. Using the Text to Speech function helps me go through my papers when I'm on a deadline, and find any grammatical errors, repetition, and odd phrasing. I also work as a writing assistant, and I recommend this to my students to help with revising their essays.

Ads are Ableist

$10 to remove ads for an app that has VERY inhuman, robotic voices is crazy. Ads interrupt you often and I need this to communicate on my job. I lost my voice and it’s damaged already.

Luckily you can close the app and re-open it to negate the ads. But it is horrendously awkward and horrible to deal with. I would be fine supporting the ad for $1-$3. $10 is fncking THEFT

Went down

I heavily rely on your app to communicate. I was born without a jaw. It helped me ALOT. So thank you. Recently I have experienced an issue. When I want to an already message and replay it, I have to close out the app and reopen it vs before when I just tap the message and it appears in the type box ready to go again. Can you fix this issue. And yes I have updated my phone and app.
